Achuapa form and stats

The season before, Achuapa's league stats were 3 wins, 7 draws and 12 losses, ending with 11th position in the Liga Nacional. Over these 22 matches they scored 12 goals and gave away 24. Playing as the home side in the former season Achuapa generated 3-2-6 (win-draw-lost) with 5 goals and 10 conceded.

Nurse was the last player to score a league goal for Achuapa and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Achuapa haven't scored in 389 minutes.

In their previous game, the manager Arias led his Achuapa to a defeat away at Santa Lucia. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estadio Winston Pineda.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Municipal (0-2).

The manager Arias will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Coban Imperial in only four days.
